About the SLP

Hello!

My name is Charlotte Veerman Ross - but I usually go by 'Char' with my speech friends 🙂. I am the practicing SLP behind Confident Kids Speech Therapy.

Here's a bit more about me...

I am a registered speech-language pathologist with Speech and Audiology Canada as well as the College of Speech and Hearing Professionals of British Columbia.

I am registered with the British Columbia Registry of Autism Service providers (RASP).

I chose the pediatric SLP field because (in my biased opinion!) children are the most dynamic, exciting individuals to work with and support. I am passionate about my profession and get so much joy from working with children!

Running a family-centered practice, I love working with children and caregivers as a team. Communication support works best as a collaborative process, and I am excited to be a member of your team!
